Profile:
It is on the cards that even if he has a long international career,
Hrishikesh Kanitkar's name will forever be linked with his winning
boundary off Saqlain Mushtaq in fading light in India's memorable
victory over Pakistan at Dhaka in January 1998 when the team chased a
300 plus target in the Independence Cup final. But even though
Kanitkar is proud of that stroke, he would like to consolidate his
place in the Indian team, something that he has not been able to do
despite getting many opportunities. This is a pity because Kanitkar
is potentially a fine utility cricketer, the kind who should be
indispensable in the one day game and who could also be useful in Test
cricket.
A gutsy left handed middle order batsman, an accurate right arm off
spinner and a brilliant versatile fieldsman, Kanitkar has not yet
established himself despite being around for three years. Flown
halfway round the world from West Indies, where he was leading the
India A team, to represent the Indian team in Australia as a
replacement for Ajay Jadeja was his biggest opportunity but despite a
couple of good performances, he was not able to find a regular place
in the side. Perhaps the fault lies with his temparament, for he is
not without cricketing skills. Son of Hemant Kanitkar, who played two
Tests against West Indies in 1974-75, Kanitkar is young and can still
claim a regular place in the Indian side, if he tightens up his
technique and improves his temparament.(Partab Ramchand)
